### Summary
Following the climactic reunion in Ireland, the narrative explores the immediate aftermath of Doyun's raw love confession. Reader response is overwhelmingly celebratory, expressing immense satisfaction that the couple has finally communicated, with Doyun's directness clearing up the central, angst-ridden misunderstanding about Hayeon's supposed illness. However, this resolution immediately gives way to a new tension, as the focus shifts to Hayeon's hesitant reaction. A significant portion of the audience expresses a mix of frustration and anticipation, urging her to reciprocate and finally confess her own long-held feelings and the foundational lie about her family's debt. This dynamic creates a split in expectations; while many eagerly predict an immediate physical reconciliation, others praise the narrative's realism, arguing that the couple still needs to talk through the past hurt before fully reuniting. The chapter thus leaves the couple at a critical juncture: while Doyun has laid his heart bare, the relationship's true beginning now hinges on Hayeon's long-overdue confession.
